Question

Q.10...In a cookie mix, we find chocolate chip cookies, spice cookies, and ginger cookies in a ratio of 4 : 3 : 3. If a bag of the mix contains 33 ginger cookies, how many chocolate chip cookies are there?

Answer 1

13.2

Explanation:

Let 4x represent the chocolate chip cookies

Let 3x represent the spice cookies

Let 3x represent ginger cookies

4x + 3x + 3x = 33

10x = 33

x = 33/10

x = 3.3

Since 4x represents chocolate chip cookies

4 × 3.3

= 13.2

Hence there are 13.2 chocolate chip cookies
